I could now vent right here about how, unconsulted on this purchase, it is likely to be me trying to educate in the use of said digital camera a woman who can barely use an ATM, but let's leave that for another day, if not an alternate future where it doesn't happen.

The same thing happens to my husband and I when my parents decide to buy a new techno gadget. The plethora of phone calls and the frustration of trying to explain how to do something long distance is enough to straighten my curly hair! My mom was talking about getting my dad a digital reader for Christmas. I think my emphatic "NO" helped to convince her to go in another direction.

Hang on to them as long as you can!!! When I purchased my Kenmore front load washer and dryer, I though I was getting very durable products that would last at least 10 years. One week after the one year warranty expired, the motherboard on my washer went bad. Thankfully, Sears did repair it but it took much anger and tears on my part to get them to do it. I now have to pay for an extended warranty for both machines to keep them in good working condition. The Sears repairman told me they don't build them like they used to and with all the new digital technology, the darn things are very expensive to repair.
